As a result of an excruciatingly slow day at my store today I found myself watching the MST versions of Gamera and vs Gaos today on Netflix. As I watched them it occurred to me that unlike the later movies in the series these movies had the feel of the 60s movies from Toho. Then I got to thinking how would they have improved if the screenplays had been filmed by Toho in its heyday. Would Honda or Fukuda have diminished the children's roles? How much better would the sfx be if done by Tsuburaya and company? I feel like those are the biggest flaws of the first 3 Gamera films. How much better would Gaos have been if he was operated by Tohos wire works crew? Or if Gamera was a straight monster movie without Kenny?
Thoughts?
